I took this film using a GoPro camera mounted on my forehead during a dive through the Devil’s Bellows, an underwater tunnel some sixty metres long beneath Asparagus Island at Kynance Cove in Cornwall. I did the dive in September at low tide after several days of calm seas, but even so the current was enough to make the swim back through the tunnel quite hard work. I was lucky to be there with my diving equipment when the conditions were so good – Kynance Cove is exposed to a strong Atlantic swell through much of the year and even in moderate conditions the tunnel is too dangerous to enter.

I love this place so much used to visit a lot with my children. I returned this year for the first time since my accident and as I'm in a wheelchair I could only get to the cafe with help from the national trust who let me use their service road for emergency services and cafe delivery. But sadly couldn't make it to the beach. My wheelchair was unable to go down safely and no way would we been able to return up again. So I was quite sad by my frustration that I was so close yet so far away from my favourite place in the world.
No sharks!!!!!
